Re: Using HTML To Download File"Trevor Lawrence" <Trevor L.@Canberra> wrote in message news:...

Thanks for chiming in!
Sorry about that, let me explain. I have a webpage (html) on my desktop that I want to be a personal "home page" if you will. When I open the page, I want it to (using html or something simple) to have the page auto fetch a document from the internet. The online web document is an xml file that updates every 30 minutes or so. I only need it to fetch when I open the local html file, or do a page refresh. I understand that IE7 does not like to download files "across servers" and is considered a security issue. Even though it's happy to browse to and display it. The XML file provides current and forecast weather conditions. I hope to reference the file to include the forecast on my personal "home page". I've been somewhat successful at displaying the information based on some good help from an earlier post. But I'm still having to browse to the xml file, "save as" and then refresh my page. Yesterday, I tried wget to fetch the file but only by using a XP command window. Haven't got around to looking for a way to get the html page to execute a wget command. That will likely present a new challenge and besides, wget is not really producing the results I'm looking for even using the command window. But that us likely a user problem... me...! Right now I'm only looking for a simple way to have my home page fetch the file when I open/refresh it. Thanks for your interest Trevor!... where you ever able to get xxcopy to work for backing up your system? Thanks!

Looks like w3schools might have more examples than they used to. I'll dig into this stuff soon. But so far, it still looks like the xml file needs to be local to the server containing the html file. Other words, the html file may not load a file from a different server or domain. Remember, the html file is on my personal desktop and the xml file is out on the web. I want the html to load, parse and display content from the xml file. Load (download) can occur at page open or refresh. Trevor - Xxcopy works fine for me, it copies (mirrors) one drive partition to another every day at 10:00am as a backup solution. Both partitions are on different physical drives and executes as a XP scheduled task. Thanks Trevor... your memory serves you well! Want to have real fun, try xxclone. Thanks again!
